BTW, a big block will have more than enough torque to do anything you want, even with a much smaller cam. Lumpy cams are a ***** to drive in the cold weather and tend to foul spark plugs if just used for cruising. A cam in the 230-236 range will have plenty of chop but still be very streetable.
cool deal man, I will check it out. Let me ask you this... How do I tell what cam is in there? It had a fair amount of chop to it but it was nothng rediculous. Would it say somewhere on the cam?
